Oasis Animal Sanctuary Inc

Programs: Animal care & adoption/foster/relocate programs: because these 2 programs are the main endeavors of the organization, most of the money used for them comes in through our general account; $37,136 was specifically donated via individuals for animal care. In 2017, 31 animals were surrendered to oasis, including 3 very old equines and a number of ill animals. In all, oasis has cared for 604 animals - many of them via foster homes, because oasis had no facility of its own until may 29, 2015. At the end of 2017, 28 were still with us, 12 of which are "permanent residents" as they have been too traumatized or are too disabled to be adopted out. Animals included: dogs, cats, horses (from drafts to ponies), a donkey, ducks, guinea pigs, snakes, hamsters, a domestic turkey, ferrets, a rooster, and goats among others. The program provides healthy nutrition, excellent vet care, and socialization with others of their species as well as with humans. We provide a non-caged environment for as many animals as we can to reduce stress and illness; and we do not euthanize any animal for any reason except end-of-life suffering for which we can offer no other relief. Please understand that these two programs are intimately intertwined and cannot be split for purposes of this form. The figure represents actual animal care expense and total payroll allocated to program expense.

sterilization assistance program: this program is run to humanely reduce unwanted animal populations through spay and neuter surgeries. 229 animals participated in the program in 2017, most of which were sterilized before year end. From the program's inception in 2002 until 12/31/17, 6,410 animals were spayed or neutered, effectively and humanely preventing the births of tens of thousands of homeless or unwanted animals. This program has 9 participating vet hospitals and clinics, and oasis pays the actual (reduced cost) surgery invoices. Revenue totals $15,285 and consists of $4,600 in net grants, $3,075 in individual contributions, and $7,610 of co-pay fees. Expenses totaled $18,281 all of which represents payments to our participating vet hospitals performing the actual surgeries. Expenses incurred in excess of the income were paid from the company's operating account. A grant from bissell foundation was received in early 2018 for the 2017 year; the amount was $4,250. This amount is not reflected in the figures above.
